Concrete? There are curved bars avilable, both metal and plastic.

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, individual mounting doesn't work firstly because the shop bought brackets don't sit close enough together and secondly mounting 38 drums, individually, takes way too long. It then has to be wired.
This is the compromise.

I agree, I don't think the DIY element is helping with the looks but I'm pouring all my efforts into some concrete playing rather than staring at it.
